Shiloh Battle Scenario - Objectives & Victory

Wed Jan 22, 2014 9:20 pm

I found something odd in the Shiloh Battle scenario. I was playing it as the Union. It said that I would win if I was in sole control of Memphis at the end of the scenario. But, when I got into the game and brought up the objectives screen in the Strategic Atlas, it didn't even list Memphis as an objective. It listed Corinth (10), but nothing about Memphis. At the end of the game, I controlled both, but I didn't get the automatic victory. It did say I won on VP's. Anybody know what's going on?

Ageod victory conditions are really great but so different from what you might expect.

Victory is a mix of territory and wins in battle. To get a major win, not like other games. you need to be king of the world, not just better than AI or your opponent

I think he's saying the scenario calls on some objectives but the strategic screen is not listing Memphis, hence he's not getting the points for occupying it as the Union, which is what the scenario calls for in its description...

I didn't even see there was a Shiloh scenario... after Manassas I jumped straight into the campaign. :)

Yes Z74, that's what I was trying to convey. Sorry if it was unclear. Memphis isn't even listed on the scenario objectives screen. If I am reading the intro to the scenario correctly, as the Union player, Memphis is the prime objective that triggers an automatic victory. It isn't working like that I don't think. Of course, historically, Corinth was the initial objective. Gaining that paves the way to Memphis. It could be what they were driving at when designing the scenario. Nonetheless, I think there is a bug here.

The objectives may have been updated since the scenario screen was written.
